Calling all adult dancers!
We’re excited to host an Adult Contemporary Pop-Up Class at DMD on August 19th from 10:00-11:15am.
This class is designed for adult dancers with previous dance experience who are ready to get back in the studio, move, and have fun. Whether it’s been a few weeks, a few years or a few decades since you’ve danced, we’d love to have you join us.
The class will be taught by DMD alumni and instructor Mary Devitt.
